Brepols Publishers is an international academic publisher of works in the humanities.

The focus of its publications lies in "source-works" from Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. By this is meant critical editions of original texts and documents in their original language, reference works such as encyclopaedias, handbooks and bibliographies, as well as monograph studies and cutting-edge research.

Reminder that the Italian Journal of Musicology has a new publisher, the Italian Music Library ( LIM ). The current version is larger than usual as it consolidates the 2008-2010 journal articles. The journal is available to members of the SIdM (Società Italiana di Musicologia).

The “Les Festes de Thalie et de France-Orpheon April 2011 Newsletter” is available online. Of particular interest is the retrospective details of the festival “Brillamment Baroque en Yvelines” where you will find additional photos and videos.

Because there are so many events coming up, we are sending out a special edition (of the GEMS Newsletter) covering the next two weekends. Also please note a correction to the Big Apple Baroque concert: the date is FRIDAY, April 1 (not Sunday, as originally listed).

Summer School of Early Music is an Early Music course targeting the historically informed performance mainly of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque Music. Some of the recorder classes concentrate on contemporary music as well.

In 1762, John Christian Bach, youngest son of the old master, Johann Sebastian, journeyed to London for a lucrative position with the King’s Theatre. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed Music Master to Queen Charlotte Sophia (wife of “Mad” King George III) and the Royal Family. With a few close musical friends, the "London Bach" formed an ensemble to entertain Her Majesty in her private chambers: The Queen’s Chamber Band.

Don't miss this tale of power, love, honor, and death presented by a cast of star singers and musicians in this extraordinary concert! March 25, Boston, MA & March 26, Arlington, MA. This is the first “opera seria” written by a woman composer.

On March 13, 2011 Nota Bene Period Orchestra presents “Bach’s Leipzig”, a concert of music by J.S Bach along with the music of his contemporaries and predecessors from the historic city of Leipzig, Germany. The concert, which features local favourite, mezzo-soprano Jennifer Enns Modolo, will include a slide show with historical connections to our own city of Kitchener.
